Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate bars for the best flavor. You can use any type of chocolate bar that you like, but a semisweet or bittersweet chocolate will give you a rich, chocolatey flavor.
  • Be sure to finely chop the chocolate bars before adding them to the batter. This will help them to distribute evenly throughout the cupcakes.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cupcakes tough.
  • Fill the cupcake liners only about 2/3 full. This will help to prevent them from overflowing in the oven.
  • Bake the cupcakes at the correct temperature and for the correct amount of time. Underbaked cupcakes will be gooey in the center, while overbaked cupcakes will be dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting them. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
  • Use a variety of toppings to decorate the cupcakes. You can use chopped candy bars, sprinkles, nuts, or even fresh fruit.
